of tbeKaional observatory It is interesting to ibserve the routine followed eyery day oy the time officer At 11 oclock he enters tne cnronomeier room and upends half an hour or more in compar ing and winding the chronometers Some of ibese are ready lo go on sea voyages while others must undergo a long period of correction In the room are also two clocks a mean lime and a transmuting lock ibe former is never corrected and when the Post reporter visited the observatory it was nine and some bundrdihs seconds fast It is never over thirty seconds out of the way Once a vear it ib taken down andcleaned bnt it is never tinkered with or regulated Every day its error is lofiely calculated by the Lieutenant in charge At 1140 the error of the transmitting clock is obtained This is done byrecording on a chronograph both iis beats and the beats of tbe mean time clock If they do not register simultaneously he difference can be determined to tbe hundredth part of a second Tbe point of a lead pencil held just near enough to the pendulum of the transmittit g ciock to retard it if it is fast or acceler aie it if it is slow enables ihe officer to maka tbe difference between tbe clocks jnet equal to the error of the mean time clnck which will be shown on thetellrale chronograph At 1150 the officer signals to the watchman on the roof and he hoists tbe limeball At 1156 tbe chronograph is connected witb tbe mean time clock and tbeclicking each click represents a second be Half a minute later the officer turnB a switch and the transmitting clock is ready to be connected with lhe outgoing wires At 115644 the repeater switchconnecting these wirep is closed aud the beat of the next second the fonyQfih goes out the first signal that the hour of noon is approaching At 115355 an automatic breakarrangement caiiaes the clock to ceas traiumittine the electric current and or five seconds there are no beats The next click nenins the last minue before noon This click is the signal for the watchman on tbe roof to sup a bolt through a ring thus fastening the ball Ten seconds befoie twelve a final ad justment ia made Then there l a mo ments silence then a click as tbe sec ond hand reaches 60 and tbe ball on the dome has dropped and the hour of noon has been flashed across the land in every direction It used to be tbe custom for the time officer to listen for tbe click and then press a key This has been abandoned and now tbe signal flashes direct from the clock itself There are severaltelegraph instruments connected with tbe clock communicating with the several teU graph
